Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalistic, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.

Occasionally I take a photo that I really like.
This is one of those.
It has a tree. And a road.
It's good to have a tree by the road. Just in case you need shade to wait for the tow truck. Or so that there is something to look at besides the flat parts - of which there are a lot around here. Also trees are good for the environment which is important.
Do trees do good things for the environment because they are genetically designed to or do they give back to the environment if the environment is good for them? Is it nature or nurture with trees?
(pause)
It's nature.
